Abstract

The present invention relates to an isolated mutant eubacterium comprising at least one mutation resulting in a substitution of at least one amino acid in the beta-subunit of the RNA-polymerase encoded for by the rpoB-gene providing an altered production of a product of interest when said production of a product of interest is compared to the production of the same product in an isogenic wild type strain grown at identical conditions, wherein the substitution of at least one amino acid occurs at any of the positions 469, 478, 482, 485, or 487 of SEQ ID NO:2, or at the equivalent positions in any eubacterial RNA-polymererase beta-subunit family member. Another aspect of the invention relates to a process for producing at least one product of interest in a mutant eubacterium and to a use of the mutant eubacterium according to the invention for producing at least one product of interest

FIELD OF INVENTION

� � � � � � � � � � � � � The
present invention relates to an isolated mutant eubacterium comprising at least
one mutation resulting in a substitution of at least one amino acid in the beta-subunit
of the RNA-polymerase encoded for by the rpoB-gene
providing an altered production of a product of interest when said production
of a product of interest is compared to the production of the same product in
an isogenic parent strain grown at identical conditions. Another aspect of the
invention relates to a process for producing at least one product of interest
in a mutant eubacterium and to a use of the mutant eubacterium according to the
invention for producing at least one product of interest.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

� � � � � � � � � � � � � In
the industrial production of polypeptides it is of interest to achieve a
product yield as high as possible. One way to increase the yield is to increase
the copy number of a gene encoding a polypeptide of interest. This can be done
by placing the gene on a high copy number plasmid. However, plasmids are
unstable and are often lost from the host cells if there is no selective
pressure during the cultivation of the host cells. Another way to increase the
copy number of the gene of interest is to integrate it into the host cell chromosome
in multiple copies. It has previously been described how to integrate a gene
into the chromosome by double homologous recombination without using antibiotic
markers (Hone et al., Microbial Pathogenesis, 1988, 5: 407-418); integration
of two genes has also been described (Novo Nordisk: WO 91/09129 and WO
94/14968). Integrating several copies of a gene into the chromosome of a host
cell could lead to instability. Integration of two genes closely spaced in
anti-parallel tandem to achieve better stability has been described (Novozymes:
WO 99/41358)as well as the stable chromosomal multi-copy integration of genes (Novozymes:
WO 02/00907).

� � � � � � � � � � � � � Other
ways of increasing the product yield would be to increase promoter activity of
the specific promoter regulating the expression of a specific gene of interest.
Also a more general increase in the activity of several promoters at the same
time could lead to an improved product yield.
